More About This Recipe

The crescent dog is easily one of the most-loved snacks (or dinner!) of our childhood. It also doubles as the perfect party food and can be served as an appetizer . While most people grew up calling sausage rolled in a buttery croissant “pigs in a blanket,” there have been several renditions of the traditional concept created like our Mini Crescent Dogs or Everything Bagel Crescent Dogs .
In the United States, we usually roll a classic hot dog up in crescent dough and bake until the crescent is warm and flaky. In other countries, pigs in a blanket uses Vienna or breakfast sausage rolled up in some form of bread. Pigs in a blanket has also become a popular breakfast idea; a breakfast sausage gets wrapped up in pancakes and drizzled with maple syrup.
Betty Crocker published a recipe for pigs in a blanket or crescent dogs in 1957 in its “Cooking for Kids” publication but there are several claims that the recipe was made and enjoyed long before Betty Crocker published it.
